Pin I can’t believe it’s been this long since I shared a recipe here. Time has flown and has stood still for us and it’s strange, it’s new, and it’s still great. Sameera is almost 5 months old and I have been so engrossed in being a new mom that everything, including cooking and blogging, has taken a backseat. In fact, I haven’t entered the kitchen to cook in over 5 months now! This is also the longest “break” I have taken from work in over 12 years and being home through the day was both boring and exhilarating. The biggest bonus is all the snacks our new helper has been churning up. She’s a great cook and this curry leaves pakoda recipe is her idea. Pin Fresh curry leaves are a must so if you don’t have some handy, I’d say skip making this until you can get some. They also need to have the stalks on for you to be able to dip the curry leaves in the batter and get some yummy pakodas going. The batter itself is quite customisable based on what you prefer. We loved the addition of ajwain in this but keep it light so that the curry leave flavour will dominate the pakoda. Serve this crunchy and delicious snack with some hot tea (or coffee if that’s your thing) and watch the evening go by. Bliss!
